Embodiment Construction

[0049] The detailed description set forth below in connection with the accompanying drawings serves as a description of a number of different configurations. The detailed description includes specific details to provide a thorough understanding of various concepts. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details.

[0050] The hearing device may be adapted to improve hearing by receiving acoustic signals from the user's surroundings, generating a corresponding audio signal, possibly modifying the audio signal, and providing the possibly modified audio signal as an audible signal to at least one of the user's ears. Or hearing aids that enhance the hearing ability of the user. A "hearing device" may also refer to a device adapted to electronically receive an audio signal, possibly modify the audio signal, and provide the possibly modified audio signal as an audible signal to at least one of the user's ea...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a non-surgical bone-anchored hearing system with improved vibration transfer, the hearing system comprising a connector configured to attach to a portion of the skin of the skull of a hearing-impaired person, the connector comprising a sheet structure, the The sheet structure includes: a first side having an abutment protruding from the first side and configured to be detachably coupled to a sound processor of the bone conduction system; a second side opposite the first side having a protruding portion and wherein the protrusion is configured to protrude from the surface of the second side in a direction away from the abutment, wherein the protrusion is configured to abut the skin of the skull when the connector is attached to the skin.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to non-surgical bone-anchored devices, also known as non-surgical bone conduction devices, configured to be placed on the skull of a hearing-impaired person to introduce sound received from the surroundings into the auditory pathway of the hearing-impaired person . Sound is transmitted as vibrational energy through the user's skull through the bony structures into the auditory pathway. More specifically, the present invention relates to a connector plate for a non-surgical bone conduction hearing aid solution optimized to provide improved and efficient transmission of vibrations to the skull of a hearing impaired person. Background technique [0002] The human auditory pathway consists of the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. In the outer ear, the sound transmitted from the person's environment is collected and transmitted to the eardrum. Sound waves travel to the eardrum causing it to vibrate, whereby sound is trans...
